Hi folks -- Just got another one of these:
> From: PyPI operators <rich...@python.org> > Subject: New rating on Django > > [REPLIES TO THIS MESSAGE WILL NOT GO TO THE COMMENTER] > xen has rated your package as 0/5. Comment (optional): I'd like to ask, again, to turn off ratings on PyPI packages. How is this feature helpful to anyone at all? * It's not helpful to me as a maintainer: I have no idea *why* "xen" gave this rating. * It's not helpful to users: they have no idea what "0" means. * It's not helpful to "xen": his feedback can't be acted upon, so we'll never be able to aprove. * It's not helpful to PyPI: what value does "0/5" provide to a catalog? * It's not helpful to the Python language: how does "0/5" in any way help Python users choose tools? PyPI is a catalog. Naive rating/voting features aren't part of that mission. Can we please turn this ill-considered, useless feature off?
